Grounds

When snow and ice accumulate on main campus, warning signs are posted at entrances, and FMP’s winter weather response crews promptly begin ice and snow treatment, often beginning as early as 1:30 a.m., shoveling walkways and spreading de-icing pellets and spray foam on sidewalks and campus roadways. Snow is plowed through the main south parking lots and traffic lanes connecting Eldon Schafer Drive and Gonyea Road.

It takes four to five hours to treat the campus for ice remediation. Snow removal, even at two to three inch depths, will likely take six to eight hours on major sidewalks and roadways depending on the outside air temperatures and the rate of additional accumulation. Extreme caution is strongly encouraged when cold wet weather occurs at all college campus locations. It is important that people wear appropriate footwear and gloves, use handrails, expect slick spots on cold mornings, and take extra precautions considering the conditions.

Please refer to the campus snow and ice removal route map at the link below showing the campus walkways that are shoveled and the roadways treated with de-icer to help determine how best to navigate inner-campus after any winter weather storm accumulation.
